Question 1

I'm a film about traditional Aboriginal life. I show you lots of naked men talking in their native tongue, that's why there are subtitles. The central story is about teaching a young man Aboriginal ways.

Ten Canoes

Walkabout

My Survival As An Aboriginal

The Naked Country

Question 2

I tell you the story of four Aboriginal sisters who dream of becoming famous singers. Their dream comes true when they can sing for soldiers. Before I was made there already existed a play of the same name.

Aboriginal Heart

The Sapphires

Queen of the Desert

Nundhirribala's Dream

Question 3

I'm Australia's first feature film to use Aboriginal actors in the lead roles, and the first to be filmed in colour. I tell the story of an adopted Aboriginal girl who is raised as a white girl until she is abducted by an Aboriginal man. I am so old that my restoration took a long time.

Journey out of Darkness

Shadow of the Boomerang

Jedda

Question 4

I am a comedy and tell a story that is the opposite of what really happened. My name does not exist in any dictionary, but sounds very familiar. I'm not very long, but known and loved by many.

Babakiueria

Manganinnie

Murundak

Question 5

I'm not an easy film to watch as my story is very moving and sometimes sad. I brought national attention to an issue that many would like to forget. My topic is so important that a politician in a landmark speech said words that made many Aboriginal people cry. There is an animal in my name.

Blackfellas (Day of the Dog)

Rabbit Proof Fence
